"Sometimes, the ones who feel the most unworthy are the ones who deserve love the most." Twisted Vows A marriage built on deception. A love born from betrayal. A revenge that could ruin them both. Ruby Madeline Kensington has spent her life trying to escape the shadow of her father’s ruthless ambition. She craves freedom, independence—anything but an arranged marriage that ties her to a world she despises. But when her older sister’s disgraceful secret is exposed—pregnant by another man—Ruby is forced to take her place in an arranged marriage with Christian Royal, the cold and calculating heir to a multi-billion-dollar empire. Christian never intended to marry Ruby. His father made it clear—whoever takes over the CEO position must secure a strong, strategic marriage. Christian was supposed to marry Amber Kensington, the perfect daughter of Maxwell Kensington, the man who destroyed his family. When Amber's scandal rendered her unworthy, Maxwell offered Ruby instead. It was the perfect opportunity. Christian needed a wife to solidify his claim to the company over his scheming stepbrother, Damian. And with Ruby, his revenge plan fell seamlessly into place. Years ago, Maxwell orchestrated the murder of Christian’s mother in exchange for power, and now, Christian will dismantle the Kensingtons from the inside out—starting with Maxwell’s youngest daughter. But when Ruby—an ambitious intern at his company—walks into his office with fire in her eyes and defiance in her heart, she becomes an unexpected complication. She was supposed to be a pawn, a means to an end. Yet, the more Christian tries to break her, the more he finds himself ensnared in his own game. In a world ruled by power and deception, love was never part of the deal. But as secrets unravel and lies collapse, Christian faces the one thing he never accounted for—falling for the woman he was meant to destroy. Will their twisted vows lead to devastation… or something neither of them ever expected

My SSS Rank System

***his life had never been worse, hopeless, miserable...and alone. until he heard the sound... That small sound, like the chiming of a bell, Ding! Yes, that's the one, the sound that changed his life.*** He had always been the weakest. Laughed at by the villagers. Scorned by the hunters. Ignored by the world. Born without magic in a land where even children could tame flames or speak to beasts, Kael was a mistake in everyone’s eyes. He couldn't lift a training sword, summon a familiar, or even sense mana. Not even a flicker. Not even a spark. Not until the day the world cracked open before him. That day, rain poured like the sky wept for him. He knelt beside his sister’s broken pendant, the last thing he had of her. Mud caked his fingers. Blood stained the ground. And then— That sound. So soft, so sudden, it cut through the storm. Ding! A chime. A bell, bright and delicate, like hope itself. > [Congratulations, Host. You have been selected by the SSS Rank System.] [Initialization begins…] His breath caught. His heart skipped. And the sky— The sky stopped crying. From that moment, Kael was no longer the weakest. He just hadn't awakened yet. ***The world of Aerthrial is steeped in mana, spirit beasts, and ancient legacies. Power is everything—measured in Ranks (F to SSS). Guilds protect the world, magic academies train the elite, and the strongest become Archons—those who command dragons, bend space, or rewrite fate. No one has ever possessed an SSS Rank System. Until now.*** **** Main Character: Name: Kael Ardyn Age: 15 (at start) Background: Orphan, magicless, often bullied. His sister died protecting him from a beast raid, and he carries her pendant. Core Trait: Empathetic and underestimated—kind but sharp, and he slowly gains tactical brilliance. Goal: Become strong enough to change the broken world that scorned the weak. System Core Mechanics: SSS Rank System: Grants Kael access to a unique tiered skill tree, beast contracts, evolution paths, and system quests. Has both active abilities (combat) and passive blessings (intuition, mana growth). As Kael emotionally evolves, the System itself evolves, gaining sentience over time. Also hides an ancient “Truth Protocol”—
